About The Study: In this study of Black and white U.S. adults ages 45 and older, neighborhood-level factors, including safety and physical and social environments, and individual-level factors, including discrimination, attenuated racial disparities in cardiovascular health. Interventional approaches to improve ideal cardiovascular health that separately target neighborhood context and discrimination by gender and race are warranted.
